                 <dd>creates a new new grid layout with draggable dividers between elements. The number of rows and
                 columns to use is determined from the number of elements in the
                 RowSizes and ColumnSizes properties respectively. Child elements are
                 arranged down column one first, then column two etc. If there are insufficient
                 columns then a new one is added.
             The output is a new layout object that can be used as the parent for other user-interface components.</dd>
